Vehicle: 1993 4x4 Pickup 22RE 5 speed manual trans 150K miles
The engine has spun a rod bearing and I need to rebuild the engine.
I am trying to work with a Haynes book and had no idea how poor this was until I started this project.
I have all the wiring and hoses disconnected from the engine. I have the front engine mounts unbolted, and all the bolts removed from the bellhousing to the engine. I have the 17mm bolts out, including the one behind the slave cylinder. The smaller, 14mm bolts around the bottom are also out. I even removed the starter. I can't seem to get the belhousing to separate from the engine.
Do I need to take the slave cylinder off the bellhousing?
What am I missing?
TIA. Any and all help is greatly appreciated
